Concubine Zhuang hugged Xiaowei, leaned on the soft couch and talked to Ruyue, Ruyue's hands were not idle, she kept braiding the red knot, her ten fingers were like green onions and white soft wattles, and her movements were twisted around the red line, which was dazzling.

"You can't be idle during pregnancy, just let the girl do this kind of work, but you have to bother yourself. Xiaowei, look at your mother, I'm really not afraid of being tired. Concubine Zhuang seemed to be talking like a yue, but she smiled with Xiaowei.

Ruyue stopped what she was doing and said to Concubine Zhuang: "This heart-to-heart knot is made up for Xiaowei, and the jade pendant on her body is still something you married, but the tassel is a little old." I'll make it up later, and you can replace it with a new one. ”

"Thank you, E-niang." Xiaowei responded obediently: "Mother, Xiaowei likes the heart-to-heart knot made by Eniang." ”

"Okay, then when your mother makes it up, your mother will put it on for you." Concubine Zhuang dotingly stroked Xiaowei's snow-white cheeks, only to feel as smooth as water, which made people feel distressed: "As long as we Xiaowei is happy." ”

Qin'er came up with a big drop of crispy soft milk cake, and said with a smile: "Little princess, look, what is this?" ”

"Ah, milk cake!" Xiaowei giggled, looking very innocent: "Eniang, mother, Xiaowei wants to eat milk cake." ”

Before Ruyue could speak, Concubine Zhuang had already nodded: "Let Aunt Qin'er accompany you, but eat a few smaller." ”

Xiaowei was very happy, broke free from Concubine Zhuang's arms, and fell to the ground with Peishuang's hand, and jumped up and followed Qin'er to Xiaoji. That's it, just when Ruyue and Concubine Zhuang looked at her and smiled and bent her eyebrows, the little princess suddenly stopped her movements, turned around and blessed respectfully: "Thank you Eniang, mother, that Xiaowei is welcome." ”

Ruyue and Concubine Zhuang were really stunned, and suddenly laughed loudly again, and Xiaowei also giggled very sweetly.

It was only at this time that Concubine Zhuang felt that she was happy, and she had not lived up to it in this life. Ruyue couldn't see through her thoughts, not to mention that the tears in the corners of her eyes were so obvious. "Sister didn't hurt Xiaowei in vain, she and her sister are really connected!"

"It's also thanks to you." Concubine Zhuang smiled and wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said calmly: "If it weren't for Xiaowei, how would I have survived these days, I really can't imagine." ”

Ruyue lowered her head and wrapped the red silk thread in her hand again: "The lives of women in the palace are probably like this." It's always in my heart, and my sister shouldn't think about it too much. ”

"Do you know about the third elder brother's entry into the palace?" Mentioning this topic, Concubine Zhuang sensitively remembered the queen. "Seeing that the queen is about to be helpless, in the end, blood is thicker than water, when the son sees that Eniang is sick so hard, won't he be soft-hearted? What's more, do you really believe that the third elder brother has no intention of rebellion? That's the throne......"

"Sister." Ruyue raised her head slightly, glanced at Xiaowei, who was eating energetically, and lowered her head again: "What others think in their hearts, Ruyue really doesn't want to take care of it." With Xiaowei and the child in the womb, it is enough. ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't have such a good heart as Ruyue, and sneered: "I'm afraid that people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts." The queen originally wanted to join forces with the noble people to compete with you, but she didn't want to give birth to this hellish thing. Instead of joining forces, it made Mei Guiren hate the queen very much. In addition, now that you have a baby, it is very likely to be an elder brother, how can the queen not hate it! ”

"It's delicious." Xiaowei's big eyes smiled into a slit, and her face was full of small grains. Ruyue looked at Qin'er half-bending her knees and rubbing her little face softly, and she didn't feel that her heart was soft: "The queen is just treating others with herself, and I'm afraid that this palace will use the flesh and blood in her belly to seize the throne." In fact, even if there is no flesh and blood in the belly of the palace, the emperor's mind is extraordinarily firm, and only the second elder brother can inherit the unification. ”

"I hope you'll always think that in your heart!" Concubine Zhuang always felt that if she had her own brother, she would definitely covet the throne. What's more, it is a concubine who is favored by thousands of people! has obviously won the emperor's heart, and the emperor's brother will inevitably be more favored by the emperor because of this.

So...... Isn't it easy to become the future prince? Isn't it hard to be a concubine and a concubine when you are young? In the future, she will be buried beside the emperor with the dignity of a concubine, instead of the mother of a country?

A little preoccupied, Concubine Zhuang sank her head slightly.

Ruyue guessed what she was thinking, and smiled bitterly. "The emperor has all kinds of opportunities, there are always endless excerpts, the hearts of the people of the previous dynasty are unpredictable, and it is just impossible to prevent it. Along with the harem, isn't it clear to my sister? ”

"That's right, the emperor has suffered from the harem's calculations in vain. Not to mention far away, just say that the former concubine actually teamed up with the eunuch to bring ...... to the emperor" gasped, and Concubine Zhuang didn't dare to announce it.

Ruyue's face also darkened a little, and various scenes from the past flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but resent: "If only I had seen the true face of the Li family earlier." She calculated the emperor and queen, and calculated me, these may not matter, but she even calculated Luan'er's life to ......"

Concubine Zhuang felt speechless, and couldn't help but smile brightly: "Look at what I'm talking about, it's good to mention those unhappy things, which makes you uncomfortable!" ”

"Eniang, who is Luan'er?" Xiaowei Xu was full, blinked her eyes, and ran over curiously: "Why hasn't Xiaowei seen it?" ”

Ruyue bent down, gently stroked Xiaowei's ruddy face, and said affectionately: "Luan'er is also Eniang's child, and she is your own sister." It's a pity that when I was very young..., it was gone...... Otherwise, she will be as cute and smart as you. ”

Xiaowei didn't understand what E-Niang's mouth meant by being gone, but she could vaguely feel that E-niang's smile was not so good-looking, so she only nodded silently.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but sigh, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Is it the same as the Jade Niangniang?" Xiaowei still didn't hold back her words after all, and asked sadly with a wink.

Concubine Zhuang waved her hand, summoned Xiaowei over, and held her into her arms with both hands: "Yu Niangniang and your sister Luan'er have gone to a far away place, and they are each other's companions, and their lives will not be so lonely and difficult." You're still young, but you'll understand when you grow up! ”

Ruyue had mixed feelings, saying that it was not a taste, but she just smiled and nodded silently.

"You said that the fetus of the noble woman is really unstable?" Concubine Zhuang suddenly burst out with this sentence: "Or is she deliberately spreading rumors, in order to avoid the queen's 'envelope'?" Or is it just to keep quiet and avoid the edge for the time being? ”

Ruyue handed the braided heart-to-heart knot to Concubine Zhuang: "Is it, you have to see it in person before you can rest assured." ”

Concubine Zhuang held her mouth with a heart-to-heart smile: "Xiaowei, look at it, your mother's hand is really dexterous." This knot is beautiful. While talking, Concubine Zhuang gestured in front of Xiaowei. Mother will put it on for you later, do you like it? ”

The red fluttering face was full of joy, and Xiaowei nodded vigorously: "Thank you Eniang, Xiaowei likes it." Mother, you can change Xiaowei in a while! ”

Concubine Zhuang's loving eyes didn't seem to have left Xiaowei, but it was clearly said to Ruyue: "That's easy, I may not have been to see her for a long time, Sister Chengfei is also enthusiastic, and she must be willing to accompany me through this experience." ”

"That's for the best." Qin'er smiled and served hot tea to Concubine Zhuang: "The slave always feels that Imperial Doctor Lu's medical skills are exquisite, and he may not be able to do it without leakage." But he may not be the only one in the palace who has superb medical skills! ”

Concubine Zhuang's smile was like a flower, and she was exceptionally hearty: "Like the concubine, the people around her are the best people." My aunt's heart is as clear as water, and she naturally sees everything thoroughly. As she spoke, Concubine Zhuang unconsciously called Hua'er: "It's not too early, you go to prepare the chariot, and then invite Concubine Cheng to come to our palace to drink tea and talk." ”

Pei Shuang shook Xiaowei's hand with a smile, a little reluctant: "Let the slave send the mother and the little princess back to the palace!" ”

"It's fine." Ruyue promised, and said with a smile, "Xiaowei wants to listen to your mother, but don't be naughty." ”

"Yes, E-niang. Xiaowei will be obedient. Xiaowei's smiling appearance is very similar to Ruyue when she was a child, as pure and innocent, and there is no impurity in her eyes.

Occasionally, when she looked at her, Ruyue would think of herself at that time. It's just that she couldn't have predicted that on this day many years later, she would already be like a concubine with red hands stained with blood.

The next day, Concubine Cheng was really invited and stayed outside the gate of Changchun Palace early in the morning. By the time Concubine Zhuang came, she had been waiting for a while.

"My sister is late, so let my sister wait here." Concubine Zhuang smiled apologetically: "Xiaowei is too clingy, I always have to look at her before I am willing to use breakfast." I knew it earlier, so I asked my sister to go to Yonghe Palace to rest for a while. ”

"It's okay!" Concubine Cheng kindly held Concubine Zhuang's hand and said frankly: "On weekdays, I either sit or lean, it's rare to be able to come out for a walk, breathe, isn't it very good!" What's more, I'm here to see this ...... again."

Hua'er approached slightly and reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, it's Imperial Doctor Chen who is here, you see." ”

Following the voice of the flowers, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Cheng glanced back in unison, and sure enough, Imperial Doctor Chen came. didn't see Lu Tian, and the two of them were very pleased.

"Concubine Cheng is auspicious, Concubine Zhuang is auspicious." Imperial Doctor Chen saluted respectfully and solemnly. Because of his age, he looked a little more serious, and his face was calm without too much expression.

Concubine Cheng deliberately asked, "Why are you here with Imperial Doctor Chen?" Hasn't the dragon fetus of the noble man been taken care of by the stone imperial doctor all the time? ”

Imperial Doctor Chen was also an old man serving the emperor, and because of his age, he did not go out on patrol with the holy car, which was also extremely safe in the end. "Back to Concubine Cheng's words, Imperial Doctor Lu will take leave today, and the old minister will come to ask for peace for the nobles."

Concubine Zhuang was very satisfied: "That's very good, Imperial Doctor Chen is highly respected, and the noble people must be at ease." Flatten. Ask for a pulse to your nobles, but you can't delay the hour! ”
